This is an IBM Automation portal for Integration products. To view all of your ideas submitted to IBM, create and manage groups of Ideas, or create an idea explicitly set to be either visible by all (public) or visible only to you and IBM (private), use the IBM Unified Ideas Portal (https://ideas.ibm.com).
We invite you to shape the future of IBM, including product roadmaps, by submitting ideas that matter to you the most. Here's how it works:
Start by searching and reviewing ideas and requests to enhance a product or service. Take a look at ideas others have posted, and add a comment, vote, or subscribe to updates on them if they matter to you. If you can't find what you are looking for,
Post an idea.
Get feedback from the IBM team and other customers to refine your idea.
Follow the idea through the IBM Ideas process.

In particular, *all* event messages should be published. For backward compatibility, the existing queue names continue to be defined and durable subscriptions created to point to them. However, as a security feature, the ability to subscribe to event messages such that they cannot be intercepted by an attacker is extremely useful.
I agree with Neil. PubSub to a more granular topic tree structure.
We are considering implementing something that would address this requirement in a future version of MQ.
In my opinion, Pub/Sub is the way to go for implementation of this RFE. While it is possible to use QAlias with targtype(topic) to convert the current structure of queues to topics publications, the granularity doesn't change. Also, doing pub/sub this way breaks backward compatibility as applications cannot get the messages from the original SYSTEM.ADMIN.*.EVENT queue names.
So, improved separation of different event types into a well defined topic tree would have many advantages to MQ monitoring and event management.
